Online reservation service joins up with business networking specialists as hotel.info and XING corp

9 June 2010

hotel.info, the free online hotel reservation service for more than 210,000 hotels worldwide, has announced its cooperation with XING, the German-speaking world’s largest online business network with more than 3.9 million members. Around the world, more than 9.2 million members use XING to promote their businesses, professions and careers.

hotel.info operates on the Internet as a global arranger of hotel accommodation, offering hotel rooms for private and business travellers through its website at www.hotel.info. Visitors to the site are quickly able to locate and book hotel rooms that meet their requirements. For its part, XING helps business professionals make their everyday professional activities more efficient, so the two sites are perfect partners. The company discount rates negotiated by hotel.info are exclusively available to XING’s Premium Members in the platform’s Best Offers area. This means business travellers can obtain significant price savings compared with the room rate available to the general public.

Warini Munshi, CEO of hotel.info, emphasises the value added for XING users thanks to the cooperation with hotel.info: “An efficient means of organising business travel is an important concern for business professionals, especially - the type of people who want to make good business contacts both offline and online through XING’s global business network. Members whose work requires them to travel widely will benefit particularly from the ability to find the right hotel room quickly.”

Carsten Ludowig, Director of Advertising & Partnerships at XING, underlines the advantages for members of the integration between the two services, “With this link into hotel.info, we are expanding our services, adding a relevant business service that further improves the personal benefit offered by the XING platform to our members.”
